I'm posting from an actual abacus.
It's more about gaming compatibility for me.
I know Linux had been making great progress. But not every game runs well on non mainstream OS's.
Fedora in the 'has a life section'? Yes, having to reinstall an old version of shim-x64 on an encrypted disk, because the new version breaks the handover from UEFI to bootloader (and therefore even rescue mode is not accessible) is something that everybody is able to do in an instant.
Or dealing with a crashing window manager, getting your Bluetooth headset to work in a stable and predictable manner, etc.
I've had Fedora as a daily driver for over two years, switched to Manjaro because I grew tired of having to deal with a constant stream of issues and crashes. I won't say that there is anything inherently bad about Fedora and I may have had a stroke of bad luck, but it is relatively bleeding edge and therefore one should expect issues to pop up from time to time.
I wouldn't say I'm that techy and I recently jumped over to Linux Mint from Windows because it has the C-compiler gcc pre-installed and it's UNIX seems to be a better experience for programming. It was easy to install, I find I'm going back to Windows less and less. I used to use Photoshop a lot, now I'm just using Krita. I'm lovin it so far. Only games are a problem maybe, although the game I play has a linux version, I just can't be bothered loading yet.
Linux Mint is supposed to be the easy for-the-layman Linux distro and that's been my experience so far - everything has worked, no issues.
"Do you have a life", FTFU!
A meme about Linux and BSD and all those nerdy things on a general meme
subredditcommunity that has more than 500 upvotes (with 1000 being a really high number of votes)? If this post was back on Reddit, say r/Memes, it would probably only get 100. Lemmy needs to somehow diversify its demographics such that less technical don't feel as alienated after joining. (To be clear, this is not a criticism on this post.)And here I thought I didn't have a life. What a a pleasant surprise!
i use linux BECAUSE i fear technology...
maybe more accurately it should be 'understand' technology, but then why would windows be there ?
Accurate
Jokes on you I devolved from Arch to macOS
